Editing TextureMatrix

The texture matrix object allows you to define how a texture will appear in an material.  It can be used to manipulate still (fixed) textures as well as animated ones.

==Code==
{|
|
 textureMatrix
 name example_texmat
 scale 0.0 0.0 1.0 1.0
 spin 0.0
 shift 0.0 0.0
 center 0.5 0.5 
 fixedscale 0.0 0.0
 fixedspin 0.0
 fixedshift 0.0 0.0
 end
|}
Texture Matrix must be used in conjunction with the [[Material]] object using texmat.
valid parameters for a Material are:
<properties>
name=name for reference
scale=u/v freqs, u/v scales
spin=rotation freq
shift=u/v freqs
center=dynamic u/v center (for spin and scale)
fixedscale=time invariant u/v scale
fixedspin=time invariant rotation
fixedshift=time invariant u/v shift
</properties>

==Examples==
Texture Matrix is often used to create the appearance of flowing water or lava with the "shift" argument.

-The valid parameters for textureMatrix are:
-{|{{Prettytable}}
-|-
-| {{Hl3}} |'''Parameter'''
-| {{Hl3}} |'''Description'''
-|-
-| '''name''' || Name of the texmat, for reference.
-|-
-| '''scale''' || Causes texture to dynamically change it's size, parameters are u/v frequencies, then u/v scales.
-|-
-| '''spin''' || Cause a texture to spin around a center point, parameter is rotational frequency.
-|-
-| '''shift''' || Causes texture to move linearly, parameters are u/v frequencies.
-|-
-| '''center''' || Central point for spin and scale.
-|-
-| '''fixedscale''' || Fixed scale, texture doesn't move with time.
-|-
-| '''fixedspin''' || Fixed spin, texture doesn't move with time.
-|-
-| '''fixedshift''' || Fixed shift, texture doesn't move with time.

-A textureMatrix can be called by adding 'texmat <name>' to a material containing a texture, like so:
-{|
-|
- material
-  name example_material
-  diffuse 1 1 1 1
-  texture caution
-  texmat example_texmat

+==Examples==
-The Texture Matrix can only be added to a map by hand, or by pyBzEdit.
+Texture Matrix is often used to create the appearance of flowing water or lava with the "shift" argument.
-==History==
-The TextureMatrix object was added with the [[BZFlag 2.0.0|v2.0.0]] release of BZFlag.
